Despite the theme of the article being Tibetan, the article describe the entire event from Chinese perspective and fails to explain cause and effect of the event from the angle of Tibetan. Reader trying to understand the 5W1H of the event in term of Tibetan would left themselves confused after reading the article. C933103 ( talk) 17:09, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
Regarding this edit, I accidentally pressed the "Enter" key which prematurely submitted my edit before I finished my edit summary. I removed the adjective "Khampa" from "Tibetan and Khampa protestors and militants", because to my understanding, the distinction is between Lhasa and Khampa Tibetans (i.e. Tibetans from Lhasa and Tibetans from Kham), not that Tibetans and Khampas are two different peoples (or more specifically, that the latter is not a subgroup of the former).

"Tibetan" is an ethnicity and "Khampa" is a local identity in Kham. Van Schalk writes, People from the eastern regions of Kham and Amdo have always identified themselves as Khampas and Amdowas rather than Tibetans, and have sometimes been more closely connected to their Chinese neighbours than to Central Tibet.
I don't think this means that the Khampas stopped speaking Tibetan, but rather that they started seeing "Tibetan" also as a local identity, which was separate from theirs. In contrast, the people of
Ngari never had this problem. They remained "Tibetan" throughout. --
